Efficient reservoir sampling implementation for PyTorch

Reservoir sampling implementation for Pytorch

Efficient implementation of reservoir sampling for PyTorch. This implementation complexity is O(min(k, n - k)). The main purpose of this repo is to offer a more efficient option for sampling without replacement than the common workaround adopted (which is basically permutation followed by indexing).
